Horror At Home: Faces of Radical Terrorism In The U.S.

“The objective of a terrorist is to create political change in the society he targets.” — Tom Clancy, author

Radical terrorism creeps in under many guises. Terrorism is usually perpetuated by a warped, perverted and often religious ideology, which is nearly impossible to ascertain on appearance. Many Americans, especially conservatives, think all terrorists come from a foreign land, a culture they see as primitive compared to our own, and who look similar to the man shown below.

Of course, as we’ve seen, some terrorists do fit the stereotype, and we should never put down our guard, personally or as a country, as these zealots want nothing more than to see the U.S. obliterated. But the greatest threat of radical terrorism to the U.S. comes from here at home.

The terror groups identified in the U.S. are far too numerous to name in one article. This link will provide you with an up-to-date, comprehensive list of hate, extremist, and terror groups identified in the country.

The faceS of radical terrorism in the United States

The United States, since its founding, has had a violent history. Start at the beginning and look the settlers of the Plymouth colony. Nice, what they did to the Native Americans, no? They were also nasty to each other about religion as well. Let’s fast-forward a few centuries. Below is but a small offering of some of the most identifiable domestic terrorists of the past 25 years. Clickable links are offered for more information.

THE KU KLUX KLAN – the oldest and most infamous example of radical terrorism in the U.S.

Kory Watkins – Of OPEN CARRY TARRANT COUNTY Texas. Responsible for terrorizing pro-gun responsibility groups, open carrying in retail establishments and restaurants. Because Guns.

Social media groups that promote relentless harassment and illegal actions toward anyone who holds a differing viewpoint from their radical gun opinions, such as Hypocrisy and Stupidity of Gun Control Advocates. Probably the most malicious group on Facebook. Bullies who know no limits To barbarism.

(*I have had members of this group harass and assault me personally. The will take photos from your page, even a child’s photo, distorted it and spread it over the internet. Their members have sent personal messages threatening to kill and rape my child and me. They have hacked my Facebook page. Members have sent messages, knowing and stating my personal information and address, threatening to come to my home and shoot me.I have had to file police reports and have since kept a very low profile in the pro-gun common sense movement. Be careful if you feel inclined to engage them. They are dangerous and know how to skirt the rules and the law.)

Make no mistake – none of these people and group exists in a vacuum. It may be shocking and surprising to realize how many supportersthese terrorists actually have.
